Lafe Wells, a member of a bandit gang, is wounded and left for dead by his companions. Wally Kenyon finds Lafe. The outlaw, believing himself to be close to death, then asks Wally to take some money to his mother. Wally does as the bandit asks and meets Lafe's sister, Ruth. Lafe recovers and, later, when Wally and Ruth are ambushed by outlaws, he brings the sheriff's men to their aid. Wally and Ruth get married.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"The Fighting Cheat" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
